Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Birds&Bugs any bird and bug in one capture. The alt theme is #EverydayBirds birds you see often. Good luck to everyone. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Male stonechat perched upright on a budding plant stem, holding a bright yellow-and-orange insect in its beak. Its black head, white neck patch, and warm orange chest are lit by golden sunlight against a smooth, pale blue background, with green leaves and rounded buds framing the perch.

Photograph taken looking up at a sturdy yet decorative wooden chandelier at the Tudor wonder of Speke Hall, Liverpool. One of my former offerings (from the same room) was suspended by an arm...so why not also show some faces! No further body parts, I promise! Dark wood, multi-layer chandelier, with carved faces protruding from the octagonal (I think) sides of the lowest tier. Carved patterns on the sides of each arm, each topped by a warm candle bulb (obviously not original). Chandelier hangs from a hefty chain.

This black-and-white photograph captures the historic Liston street in the Old Town of Corfu, Greece. The architecture of this iconic pedestrian promenade features high, vaulted arcades that were inspired by the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. The scene is composed through a deep perspective, with the arched walkways creating a framing effect on both sides of a wide, sun-drenched square made of paved stone. On the left and right, massive stone pillars support a series of rhythmic arches, under which decorative iron lanterns hang. The buildings themselves are several stories high, adorned with traditional Venetian-style shuttered windows. In the background, the buildings narrow towards a distant focal point, where further structures and people can be seen, adding to the urban depth. The square is populated with several people, mostly in silhouette, which adds a timeless quality to the image. In the immediate foreground, a woman’s silhouette is partially visible on the left. Toward the center, another person stands looking at a map or phone, while a third individual walks toward the right side of the frame. Further back, more figures are scattered across the square, some sitting at outdoor café tables tucked under the arcades, a hallmark of the Liston's social life. The lighting is stark, with high contrast between the deep shadows under the arcades and the bright, reflective light on the square’s floor. This emphasises the textures of the stone masonry and the geometric patterns of the floor tiles. The sky is barely visible at the top, mostly clear, and the overall composition highlights the grand, historic scale of the Venetian architecture that defines this UNESCO World Heritage site.

😂🤣 In my head I had a few notable exceptions who I knew for sure were not going to be. However I knew you would be Belle, not because you’re a little angel, more that you were probably sleeping. 😁

Stunning building Belle.
Wide, symmetrical view of Wimpole Hall, a grand red-brick English country house, seen from the end of a broad gravel drive. The long Georgian façade stretches evenly across the frame, with rows of tall white-framed sash windows and a central entrance reached by stone steps beneath a decorative pediment. The foreground is dominated by textured golden gravel bordered by dry grass, while above, dramatic layered grey clouds fill the sky, adding contrast and atmosphere to the stately historic building.

#BirdOftheDay today is #Birds&Bugs. No bugs so I choose #everydaybirds

We see it nearly every day. But it’s exciting. The robin meanwhile shows us very cool stunts.

A close-up of a bird with an orange breast, gray wings, and a curious expression, perched on a wooden surface, against a blurred green background. A small bird with a reddish-orange chest and grayish-brown wings is pecking at a hanging feeder. The background is softly blurred, suggesting a natural outdoor setting.
